Air Disaster 3: Terror In The Sky

Air Disaster 3: Terror In The Sky

The modern jet age is extraordinarily safe. But that safety continues to be tested – and, occasionally, found wanting – by pilot error, freak weather conditions, poor maintenance and sheer bad luck. <br />As ever, the lessons learned are painful.<br />From the passengers sucked to their deaths from a gaping hole in a United Airlines Boeing 747 over Hawaii, to the astonishing escape of most of those aboard the Airbus which crashed into a forest at Mulhouse, to the insane decision of an Aeroflot captain to allow his young children to ‘fly’ his laden passenger jet over the Siberian wastelands, award-winning aviator writer Macarthur Job looks at what went wrong, and how it can be prevented from happening again.<br /><br />With photographs, and detailed illustrations by aviation artist Matthew Tesch, 'Air Disaster 3: Terror In The Sky' is a classic of its genre.<br /><br />Look out for two other books in Macarthur Job's Air Disaster series:<br />Air Disaster 1: The Propeller Era<br />Air Disaster 2: The Jet Age
